Eighth stage from east to west on the Way of St James. You are now on the Via Gebennensis – GR®65 or the ‘Route du Puy’ – which is undoubtedly the best-known route as it most closely follows the historical path to Santiago de Compostela.
For this8th stage, you will walk mainly through fields and forests, punctuated by a strong cultural identity at La Côte Saint-André and also in villages such as Ornacieux or Balbins, with the Saint-Michel Chapel offering a magnificent 360° panorama.
